signal path of only that channel. A special cable consisting of a single stereo 1/4" jack on one
end and two mono 1/4" jacks on the other is required.
See Section 2 - INSERT INTERFACING
SENDS
These jacks feed the signal from SEND MASTER 1 through 6 to an outboard effects device or
headphone amplifier. SENDS 1 and 2 are derived Pre-Fader while SENDS 3 through 6 are
derived Post-Fader.
RETURNS
The RETURN jacks are especially dedicated to the signals returning from any outboard effects
devices back into the
1622
MIXER.
RETURNS 1 through 4 are pannable between the Left and
Right MASTER buss. RETURNS 5 and 7 are permanently assigned to the Left MASTER.
RETURNS 6 and 8 are permanently assigned to the Right MASTER.
HEADPHONE
Controlled from the MONITOR VOLUME pot, the HEADPHONE jack provides substantial level
to drive most headphones. It is not affected by the MONITOR DEFEAT switch.
SUB OUT
The outputs of the SUB MASTERS are available for connection to the inputs of a tape machine.
In certain applications, such as video post production, the SUB OUTS may also have a different
mix, such as a mix containing music and effects but minus the dialog, from the one available at
the MAIN OUTPUTS.
SUB INSERT
A ring-tip-sleeve jack that allows insertion of an outboard effects device, such as a compressor
like the
A
lesis
MICRO LIMITER
or reverb like a
MICROVERB II
, into the signal path of the SUB
MASTER.
MAIN OUT
The outputs of the MAIN OUT are available for connection to the inputs of a Mixdown Tape
Machine, sound system, or amplifier.
MAIN OUT LEVEL SELECTOR
This switch selects the proper level for use with either professional or semi-professional
equipment. Select the +4dBV position (switch pressed in) for most sound systems and
professional tape machines. Select the -10dBV position (switch out) for connection to guitar
amplifiers or cassette decks. Generally speaking, use the -10dBV setting if you are connecting
to a device that uses RCA jacks. Use the +4dBV setting for a device that uses XLR inputs. For
a device that uses 1/4" phone jacks, try both settings and choose the one with the lowest
background noise (hiss and hum).
MAIN INSERT
Allows for the insertion of an outboard effects device, such as the
A
lesis
MICRO LIMITER
or
the
A
lesis
QUADRAVERB,
into the signal path of the MAIN Outputs.
MONITOR OUT
The outputs of the MONITOR OUT are available for connection to the inputs of the amplifier for
the control room monitor speakers. The level is controlled by the MONITOR VOLUME pot.
TAPE INPUT
For connection of the output of a mixdown deck during recording. This will allow you to hear the
playback of your mix without repatching.
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTOR
Connection for
